Any propeller experts out there?

Hartzel.   I have a wood prop off a 1946 J3, 65HP.  if anyone is interested .

What do you want for it?  PM me details.

Looks like an old Hartzell to me. We just fitted a a brand new three blade Hartzell to our skydive aircraft. The boss took the tip off the old two blader while taxying  : LOL, glad it wasn't me!

But does he know (or has anoyne been brave enough to tell him) what he did wrong?

This prop is up on Ebay.

It seems that there are enough similarities to confirm that mine is a Hartzell. (although apparently, an older model.)

It's a very cool prop and better illustrates pitch change mechanics than one with internal gearing.

It would be cool to have a servo control the pitch wherever it might end up.....fan or wall.

Hartzell is still around, right?  Shoot them an email with your pics, tell them what you've figured out so far and that you want more information and intend to fully restore it for displaying purposes.
